you can make your own granola

... and here is how!

you will need:

4 cups old fashioned oatmeal
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
1 cup walnuts
half cup brown sugar

MIX THEM ALL



Now you need some liquid ingredients:
3/4 cup coconut oil
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons 100% maple syrup

(There was a lesson about liquid density for my kids. They were absolutely amazed by this. They kept stirring and stirring and it would not mix. They loved it!)


POUR IT OVER THE DRY MIXTURE AND STIR


 Then put the granola onto a baking pen and bake for about at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Pull it out, turn over and bake it for 5 minutes longer.


 Display it in a glass jar for some cute kitchen decoration!

Seriously the best granola ever. I used coconut oil and almonds. I also had to use left over party M&Ms. No one minded that. Yum.
